How Is Breast Reduction Surgery Performed?
During breast reduction surgery, excess fat, skin, and glandular tissue are removed. The remaining tissue is reshaped, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to achieve a proportionate, youthful appearance.
Procedure highlights:
General anesthesia
2–3 hours duration
Customized incision planning
Breast reshaping and lifting included
Preservation of sensation and function where possible
Recovery & Healing Process
Most patients resume normal routines within 7–10 days, while full recovery takes 4–6 weeks.
Common recovery stages:
| Time | Healing Stage |
|---|---|
| 1 week | Swelling reduces, light movement allowed |
| 2 weeks | Most daily tasks resumed |
| 4–6 weeks | Exercise gradually reintroduced |
